The two poems about bamboo written by Zhu Pingan are both poems by Zheng Banqiao. In the second poem, Zhu Pingan slightly adapted it to make it more suitable for him. In fact, there are dozens of poems about bamboo by Lao Zheng, but these two are the only ones. enough.
If I were to write it all, it would be shocking! I don’t like pretentiousness or anything like that! If it weren't for the fact that I was really depressed and couldn't vent my feelings, and Guo Ziyu came to tease me, I wouldn't be able to write a poem. I don't have much interest in being famous or anything like that.
After Zhu Pingan wrote two poems, he put down his brush and said lightly:
"It's embarrassing."
The three words "show your ugliness" seemed to turn into a slap, and fell on Guo Ziyu's face again. Guo Ziyu looked at Zhu Ping'an speechlessly, listening to his words "show your ugliness", he was full of misery, what did you do to show your ugliness? , it’s obviously me who’s making a fool of myself, okay!
Soon, the two poems written by Zhu Pingan were copied several times by good people, and spread throughout the entire Lu Ming Banquet, attracting applause one after another.
Word soon reached the first table, where the two poems triggered a stronger reaction than any other poem today.
It was only about ten minutes after he finished writing these two poems that Zhu Pingan heard people around him stand up and shout respectfully, "Master Zhang."
Looking up, he saw an old man with white beard in official uniform standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Before the deer singing banquet started, this gentleman had spoken, so Zhu Pingan recognized the examiner Zhang at a glance, so he quickly stood up, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zhang."
Master Zhang looked at Zhu Pingan, stroking his beard, and said to Zhu Pingan straightforwardly and calmly:
"I insist on ranking you at the bottom of the list."
It’s me who insists on ranking you at the bottom of the list!
This sentence caused an uproar, and everyone around was shocked. How could the examiner deliberately place Zhu Ping at the bottom of the list?
Have a grudge?
Did Zhu Pingan offend the examiner?
So what was Zhu Ping'an's name originally?
There was a lot of discussion all around.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan looked up at the examiner Zhang, who had a calm and unconcealed expression. Although he had no extra explanation, Zhu Pingan understood from his eyes.
Did I get to experience this ridiculous treatment that Zhang Juzheng only received back then? !
However, Zhu Ping'an doesn't care at all whether he is at the top or at the bottom. How can I put it? It's like the poem by Tsangyang Gyatso:
Top or bottom
The level is there
Neither increase nor decrease
My level of strength will not increase or decrease because of whether I am at the top or at the bottom of the list, and when I see that I am at the bottom of the list, I am even more motivated to work harder and more seriously. It can be said that I have basically achieved the effect of Zhang's examination.
Just when everyone thought that Zhu Pingan, a thirteen-year-old boy, would definitely start a crime and get mad in minutes, Zhu Pingan didn't complain at all, but instead said thank you with a grateful face:
"Thank you for your love and care. Even though Ping An is young, he understands your deep meaning."
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's pure mind and no complaints, Mr. Zhang was very pleased to hear this, "When I first saw your test paper, I sighed that you were a talented person. When I filled out the draft and opened the envelope, I realized that you were only thirteen years old. I was worried about your sharpness." If it is too prosperous, I am afraid that it will backfire. One more romantic young man in the officialdom who dances and writes is also a loss for our Ming Dynasty. If you want a knife to be sharp, you need to polish it more. But today, I will watch your behavior and watch your work. 'Every branch and leaf is always related to emotion.' , ranking you at the bottom of the list is my fault. However, I hope you will have great ambitions, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and study hard step by step. Become Yi Yin, be Xiao He, and not be a young man who became famous. .”
Yi Yin and Xiao He are both great prime ministers whose reputations have been passed down through the ages.
When everyone heard this, they were all a little surprised that the examiner Zhang spoke so highly of Zhu Pingan.
Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and take solid steps step by step...
These words were like enlightenment, making Zhu Pingan feel relaxed all of a sudden.
I just couldn't eat because of the scene I saw yesterday. Isn't it possible that I also fell into a misunderstanding? I wanted to take one bite and become fat, but in the end I could only push myself to death.
Angry youth, haha.
The requirement is that you must be ambitious, but you must take it step by step! Do your best and have a clear conscience.
The worries on Zhu Ping'an's face suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly became enlightened. He couldn't help but feel deeply and expressed his gratitude to the examiner Zhang:
"Thank you for your teaching, sir. I am grateful for peace!"
Seeing Zhu Pingan's sudden enlightenment, examiner Zhang didn't know that Zhu Pingan was suddenly enlightened by the angry youth of yesterday's scene. He thought it was because Zhu Pingan deeply understood his deep meaning.
As a result, examiner Zhang was even more pleased.
For a time, Zhang Zhukao, who cared very much for his younger generation, and Zhu Ping'an, who understood the deep meaning of his elders, had become a good story about an elder who supported and cared for his younger generation in the eyes of everyone. Perhaps in the near future, this good story will spread further, and maybe even It will also become a literary legend often mentioned in later generations.
"This puts me at ease. Come, follow me to the front to share this banquet." Examiner Zhang stroked his beard and invited Zhu Ping'an to join him at the front table to enjoy the deer singing banquet.
Examiner Zhang's invitation made everyone even more impressed by Zhu Pingan. Based on Examiner Zhang's actions, they knew that the boy at the bottom of the list would definitely get very good grades in the examination paper. If Chief Examiner Zhang didn't care for the younger generation, , Jieyuan's surname is probably Zhu.
"I'm going to the banquet with you today. I'll take advantage of you in the future. I'm afraid people with my level won't be able to get in line in the future."
Chief Zhang stroked his beard and said jokingly.
Although it is a joke, it is probably no less than a thunder in the hearts of everyone. If even Mr. Zhang is not qualified to share the banquet with Zhu Pingan, then what a high grade Zhu Pingan must be... .
Why does Chief Examiner Zhang think so highly of a young man like Zhu Pingan?
Although everyone was puzzled, they still looked at Zhu Ping'an a little higher.
"Sir Zhang, please stop making fun of me. Ping An is self-aware. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's teachings, Ping An would have gone astray."
Zhu Ping'an looked at everyone's eyes, smiled bitterly, and bowed to Master Zhang. Mr. Zhang's words may have put him at the forefront of the storm again.
Just now, I said I was worried that I was too energetic, so how could I not be afraid now? !
In fact, Zhu Ping'an's two "Bamboo" poems are the main culprit. As the saying goes, words are like people, but in fact, poems are more like people. The first "Bamboo" uses bamboo as a metaphor for himself, but actually writes about bamboo, but it is people who praise it, and talk about bamboo. "Stick to the green mountains", "break through the rocks with a strong foundation", and "strike through countless hardships", reveal his indomitable and tenacious image, sincere feelings and profound meaning. Another poem shows that he is not a romantic young man who is good at writing, but comes from a poor family and understands the hardships of people's livelihood.
In addition, as Zhu Pingan understood what he meant, his original worries no longer existed, so examiner Zhang no longer concealed his high hopes for Zhu Pingan! (To be continued.)
